Uber and Lyft at ATL

What a ride costs from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport (ATL) to the places people go most in Atlanta, around midday on a weekday.

Where to meet your ride at ATL

Uber and Lyft pickup: Domestic Terminal: every Uber and Lyft pickup is in the North Economy lot, about a five-minute walk; follow the orange Rideshare signs from North baggage claim down the escalators near doors N2-N3. International Terminal: arrivals-level outer curb.
Domestic Terminal (North and South): North Economy parking lot pickup zone with numbered stalls. From either baggage claim follow orange Rideshare signs to North baggage claim, go down to the lower level, exit door LN1, cross at the signal and walk through the parking deck to the lot.
International Terminal (Concourse F): Arrivals level outer curb: leave through door A1 or A2 and go straight across the crosswalk.
Dropoff: Domestic: the North and South terminal roadways right at the terminal doors (unchanged by the pickup move). International: curbside at the terminal, per Uber.
Taxis: Domestic: Aisle A (stalls A3-A10) of the Ground Transportation Center. International: arrivals level outside door A-1. Flat fares from the airport for one rider: Downtown $37.50, Midtown $39.50, Buckhead $49.50 (includes the $1.50 airport fee); $2 per extra rider.
Self-driving rides: None as of October 2026. Waymo cars booked through Uber run in Atlanta, but Uber says trips to or from Hartsfield-Jackson are not offered a Waymo.
Train or bus: MARTA rail serves the airport directly; the airport page links MARTA's airport guide but gives no fare (fare not found).

Request the car only once you reach the North Economy lot; drivers cannot park and wait there.
Landed on the South (Delta) side? You still walk to the North lot, so follow the orange signs.
The $37.50 flat taxi fare to Downtown is worth comparing when app prices surge.

Last checked October 11, 2026. Pickup areas move during construction, so follow the signs and the app on the day. Sources: web.archive.org, web.archive.org, uber.com, uber.com. .
